It is a burgeoning new industry — hiring someone to right your wrongs — whether you feel you’ve been unfairly dumped, canned, or disrespected.

The companies do it in a variety of ways — from bombarding your offender with unrelenting, menacing texts or phone calls, to putting an ad in the paper about his alleged indiscretions, or much, much worse.

The “reputation shredder.” for example, offers promises to “turn the most invincible seaming adversary into the company jester” for $2,200.

For $3,000 “the eviscerator” focuses on ruining one facet of the person’s life, like her marriage.

And then there is “total annihilation,” which, for $10,000, does exactly as the name suggests.

“When people feel like they’re getting harmed or even socially rejected, the natural instinct is to want to right a wrong,” said psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg.

Greenberg said the act of revenge actually activates the pleasure center of the brain.

“It’s like taking drugs — you get that high,” she said.

Dr. Nathan DeWall of the University of Kentucky went so far as to study 1,500 people on the subject – giving them a voodoo doll. He found that revenge is indeed sweet for many people – but that’s not the whole story.

“People are going to be disappointed if they think this is the best way to solve their problems,” DeWall said. “Do something more productive, because no much you get your anger out, it really doesn’t solve your problems emotionally.”

While none of the companies offer physical harm, experts said the legality of some of their tactics may come into question.
